I Remember When

Copyright 2011
WhatrUWorkinOn?

There was a time
In time's past
Wishes were made
Dreams were dreamed

Young mind daydreaming
Dreams of what could be
Dreams of his future
Young visions seen

He is ambitious
Eager to start
Ready for anything
Wanting it all

Unknowing
Yet, know it all
Wondering if the world
Is ready for him

Cocky?
That's what some say
Confident
Is how he answers...

Things have happened
Over the years
The journey has been
Turbulent, to say the least

I still see that young man
With all of his visions
Dreams of dreams
Still swimming in head

I still see his vigor
His want for it all
Now?, you say, Now?
Better now than never

That young man still lives
Though his body is weathered
The young man still lives
Because I remember when



This is my entry for Poetry Potluck

Thingy, thank you...the outfit? ;-)

Ji, that's really nice of you to say :-)

Becca, my hope is that I have enough breadcrumbs...and if you don't mind, I'll reply to your other comment.

I was absolutely floored when I finished reading. This truly is an honor for me because I feel as if I am a baby here in blogosphere.

I'm just a guy having fun, learning as I go.

Awards aren't necessary...but I sure will take them :D

Thank you so much!

Hey Kris...I feel as if my dreams are getting into gear...thank you.

Ina...without a doubt...thanks!
